HS Code 9025Hydrometers and similar floating instruments, thermometers, pyrometers, barometers, hygrometers and psychrometers, recording or not
4 six-digit codes · Heading 24 of 32 in Chapter 90 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9025 covers instruments that read temperature, air pressure and humidity. Tools that float in a liquid to test it belong here too.
Goods answering to “Hydrometers and similar floating instruments, thermometers, pyrometers, barometers, hygrometers and psychrometers, recording or not” split into 4 six-digit codes, 902511 through 902590. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 24 of 32 in Chapter 90, Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories, which runs to 143 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 9025
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 902511 | Thermometers and pyrometers; liquid filled, for direct reading, not combined with other instruments |
| 902519 | Thermometers and pyrometers; (other than liquid filled, for direct reading), not combined with other instruments |
| 902580 | Hydrometers and similar floating instruments, barometers, hygrometers, psychrometers, thermometers, pyrometers; recording or not, any combination of these instruments (excluding thermometers and barometers not combined with other instruments) |
| 902590 | Hydrometers and similar floating instruments, barometers, hygrometers, psychrometers, thermometers, pyrometers; recording or not, any combination of these instruments, parts and accessories |
What products are classified under HSN 9025?
Think of simple measuring instruments that show one reading. It might be how hot something is, how damp the air is, how heavy a liquid is, or what the air pressure is. Thermometers, pyrometers, barometers, hygrometers and psychrometers all fit this idea.
The words "recording or not" mean the device may print or store its readings, or it may only display them. Both kinds are covered. Some buyers and sellers write this as HSN code 9025, and the digits are the same.
Customs classification works by matching exact wording. So after you know the heading, the next job is to choose the right six-digit subheading.
How to pick the right 9025 subheading
Go through these steps in order. Stop at the first one that fits.
- A part or accessory, not a whole device: choose 902590.
- A single thermometer or pyrometer with liquid inside, read straight off the scale: choose 902511.
- A single thermometer or pyrometer of any other design: choose 902519.
- A hydrometer, barometer, hygrometer or psychrometer, or several of these instruments built together: choose 902580. A lone thermometer or a lone barometer is left out of this one.
What does HSN code 9025 not include?
Several nearby headings in Chapter 90 look alike but belong elsewhere. Check them before you settle on a code. The HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
- Instruments that measure or check the flow, level or pressure of liquids and gases go to heading 9026.
- Instruments for physical or chemical analysis, and for measuring viscosity, porosity, heat, sound or light, go to heading 9027.
- Surveying, hydrographic and meteorological instruments go to heading 9015.
- Automatic regulating or controlling instruments go to heading 9032.
- Machines that test the hardness or strength of materials go to heading 9024.
- Chapter 90 parts that are not named anywhere else go to heading 9033.

HS Code 9025: common questions
What is HSN code 9025?
It is a four-digit customs heading for instruments that measure temperature, humidity, air pressure and liquid density. It is the same heading as the HS version.
What is HS code 902511 for liquid filled thermometers?
Use it for a stand-alone liquid-filled thermometer or pyrometer that gives a direct reading.
What is HS code 902519 for other thermometers and pyrometers?
It takes stand-alone thermometers and pyrometers that are not the liquid-filled, direct-reading kind.
What is HS code 902580 for barometers, hygrometers and psychrometers?
Look at 902580. It also takes hydrometers and combinations of these instruments.
Is a pressure gauge or flow meter classified under 9025?
No. Those belong in heading 9026.
Is a thermostat classified under 9025?
No. A thermostat is an automatic controlling instrument, so heading 9032 is the place to look.
Who imports thermometers and barometers under heading 9025?
Importer names sit in the shipment records filed under this heading. Open the buyer data page and look up 9025, or use the import data page to see inbound shipments.
